NFL Week 9 is here and it's shaping up to be an important Sunday on the 2026 schedule. Nearing the halfway point of the regular season, this will be a pivotal moment for several teams trying to assert themselves as a legitimate threat in the playoff race.
The games start in the morning again this week with another international game, as the red-hot Cincinnati Bengals face the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain. The early afternoon window, meanwhile, has a couple intriguing matchups involving teams likely to be fighting for the final playoff spots in their respective conference. It includes the New Orleans Saints hosting the Cleveland Browns, a road game for the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams vs. Washington
Commanders.
The best action arrives later on Sunday. The New England Patriots host the Green Bay Packers with Tom Brady on the FOX broadcast and Rob Gronkowski being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Then, on "Sunday Night Football," the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put their three-game winning streak on the line against the Chicago Bears.
Here's a look at Sunday's complete Week 9 NFL schedule and how to watch all the games:
